Several weeks ago, we were contacted by a rescuer in Turkey who asked if we would consider taking in this very special cat named Lily.

Lily was a street cat in the city of Elazig, Turkey. She was hit by a car in March and left in that condition for several days before a rescuer was alerted and went to save her. She had a broken jaw, broken teeth, and severe trauma to her eyes. She was treated for her injuries at a private clinic, but sadly, they were unable to save her eyes.

Despite what she has been through, she doesn't let it slow her down one bit! She is extremely affectionate and happy, and doesn't seem bothered by the fact she can't see. She has adjusted incredibly well!

From what we are told, it is very difficult to adopt out special needs animals in Turkey. So when we were asked to help Lily find a home in the US, we just couldn't say "no"  

Although she was treated in Istanbul for her injuries, she still requires follow-up care and monitoring by a specialist.
